Euro-Based Stablecoins Turn Best Sellers in 2024

The introduction of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) in 2024 helped to make euro-backed stablecoins a major force behind the expansion of the European cryptocurrency market after gaining institutional players and liquidity throughout the region.

Monthly volumes of euro-backed stablecoins surged to almost €800 million in November, marking a multi-year high. This sharp increase can be largely attributed to Banking Circle’s EURI stablecoin, which gained significant traction after being listed on Binance, according to the most recent report by research firm Kaiko and cryptocurrency exchange Bitvavo, based in the Netherlands.
